研英翻译演练(42)

the 11 euro members' rights to inflate, to finance budget deficits by printing money, to boost exports temporarily by currency devaluation are being handed over to the new european central bank(ecb)in the most powerful way possible,by treaty.

参考答案:

要点：这是个简单句，主干结构是the 11 euro members' rights are being handed over to ecb。三个并列的不定式短语to inflate，to finance...和to boost...是rights的定语，因英文的短语太长，翻译时可将其后置或采用举例的方式逐一列出。

译文：11个欧元成员国的某些权利，如物价上涨、增加印钞以调节财政赤字、暂时货币贬值以刺激出口等等，均通过最有力的方式－条约转让给了新成立的欧洲中央银行。
